Nanco Plushies - how many are there?

[Tikibirds]

Does anybody have a checklist of which ponies Namco made?
They are the ones with the odd sewed on hair, if that helps. I dont think they were sold in stores but were prizes for arcades and those claw machines. And they come in various sizes.

I have these:
Rainbow Dash
Sunny Daze
Sparkel Works
Heather Winds (I think thats her name?)

I SEEN these on EBay
Butterscotch
Aurora Mist
Yellow Body, green star symbol

I think I remember seeing a giant shennanigans at one point too

who else is there?

I have a Sweetberry. I got her in a Show Bag at a fair in Australia. I THINK they had a Minty and a Pinkie Pie also and maybe MAYBE a Kimono (this was about 4 years ago), but you only got to choose one to go in the bag. I'm fairly sure I don't have the flyer for them anymore, but I can get you a picture of Sweetberry if you need it.

I've personally lost count. There's so many sizes and flavors....standing, sitting and laying down. Lots and lots of them.

I'm going to add my 2¢...

I apologise in advance if this sounds like a lecture...
(additions and corrections are always welcome)

Nanco Plushies come in many shapes and sizes, and are NOT to be confused with the European Plushies.

There are 2 poses (standing and lying down):

2 types of materials used (normal and shimmer):

and 4 different types of eyes (#1: hard plastic - 3 lashes on top w\eye crease, #2: hard plastic - 3 lashes on top, #3 hard plastic - no lashes, and #4: felt - iron-on).:

According to the website, the come in several sizes (http://www.nancobos.com/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?img=0&search=my+little+pony&bool=and&cat=&x=4&y=10)

MP1-001 comes in: 7", 9", 10", 14", 16", 21", 26.5", 38" and 40"
MP1-002 comes in: 8", 10", 11", 14", 16", 22", 29", 38", and 42"
SL0-054 comes in: 8", 10.5", 15.5:, and 19"
SL1-078 comes in: 8", 10.5", 15.5", and 19"

I *think* they were released in this order:
First release: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Sparkleworks and Sunny Daze.
Second release: Minty and Sweetberry
Third release: Cherry Blossom and Butterscotch.
Fourth release: Tink-a-Tink-a-Too and Sweet Breeze.

Based on the plushies I have, only the first release had the different hard plastic eye versions.

Nanco then released the lying down versions.
First release: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Sparkleworks and Sunny Daze.

Second release: Minty, Star Surprise, Sweet Breeze, and Wysteria.

These have fabric iron-on eyes, and are shimmer versions.

The versions released in Europe look the same, but were distributed by another company, ITM Leisure LTD (http://www.itmleisure.com/).

Another difference is that they have sewn eyes.

I *think* they were released in this order:
2004

2005

2006

2007

2008

Along this line, I have 2 large sitting versions:

I've read that there is also a Minty.

And this lying down version:

Recently, on eBay, there was a Tink-a-Tink-a-Too, but, sadly, I was outbid.

Also, I've come across this version:

The bright green one is from Nanco, while the lighter green version came from Australia, and was distributed by Hunter Leisure (Hunter Leisure Pty Ltd).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, ends today's lesson on Plushies.

Those are such cute pics, Kar! And that's a much better way of winning them than what I did.

I fetched a "shimmer" standing Minty out of the local claw machine at Wal*Mart. I managed to get her hung up on the top of the tube -- there was literally no way to get the claw to touch her at that spot. I must have looked really pathetic trying to figure out how to get her out of the machine. In the end, the door greeter came over and tipped the machine for me. Fell out like a charm...now why didn't I think of that? :bonk:

Just to add here that i also have a plushie not mentioned here. I won her at a fair stall here in the UK and i had a choice between her and a pinkie pie ^_^
